Economic savior: Eh, I don’t worry about the market’s “day to day gyrations”
posted at 4:42 pm on March 3, 2009 by Allahpundit
Audacity indeed: Have a look at the Journal’s analysis of the Dow’s performance lately, especially over the last month as we got a good, hard dose of economic Hopenchange, and then bookmark this post in your “Imagine if President McCain had said it” folder. Obama actually had the stones to refer to this as “fits and starts.” Hey, champ? We’ve got the “fits” covered, including another 37-point downward gyration this afternoon. When do the “starts” start?
Be sure to watch until at least 1:50, when he talks about current P/E ratios making stocks a good long-term buy, then read this Megan McArdle post. Tain’t so.

Standard donkey brain. The crazy donkey party on one hand wants to tax the donkey dooodooo out of us and on the other hand doesn’t give donkey doodoo on market value. Someone tell him that stocks at 15,000 dow have more value to tax than stocks when the market is 6,500 dow

Obama on a sinking ship: “Eh, I don’t pay attention my bed floating a little higher each day.”
Obama on a basketball team that’s losing: “Eh, I don’t pay attention shooting percentage fluctuations.”
Obama in a car with no brakes on a hill: “Eh, what’s a few potholes?”
This is not some situation where the stock market is going up and down along a plateau, it’s down 3,000 this year. It will be 3,000 before long.
PastorJon on March 3, 2009 at 5:13 PM
My retired Mother has lost HALF of what she and my Father had earned and saved over their lifetimes.
Baby boomers, who were forced by government rules to put their retirements into 401ks have lost HALF of what they expected to retire on.
Obama does not get it… EVERYONE is now in the stock market, as their RETIREMENT accounts are tied up there.
As the Capt. of the Titanic said… I don’t worry about these little waves, these ups and downs…
Romeo13 on March 3, 2009 at 5:15 PM
Dude, they were your former leaders, too, like Barney and the boys. Problem is, the markets are reacting to Obamanomics by tanking. That is, President Big Brain is hosing us yet again. Unlike the “gigantic disaster” Barney and the boys had a big hand in, Obama owns this one all by his lonesome. So, I guess we have you to blame for that, right?

My kid goes to college this June. We have saved FOR 10 YEARS to help pay her dormitory, book and living expenses, but last week we had to close her college savings fund – It was down 56% (we got slaughtered). Now we have a kid freaking out thinking she can’t go to college, which is NOT the case; she will go, we will just have to skimp and get 2nd jobs and no dining out (hah).
When does the clarion call go out to the tax paying masses to get this p.o.s. POTUS, this wealth destroying sock puppet, forcefully out of office? I am being serious; one man cannot be allowed to UTTERLY f–k every single earner and bring our country to her knees.

Dow is down 2,836 points since election day, or down 30%. Since the messiah’s inauguration, the dow is down 1,186 or 15%. This is a trend not day to day gyrations.

Viper1 on March 3, 2009 at 5:23 PM
Does Obama realize how ignorant he sounds? I suppose we shouldn’t expect anything more from a poly-sci major who studied law and then went into the street agitation business. He has zero credentials for the presidency, yet millions of naive trusting souls have pinned the economic hopes of the world on this fool.
flyfisher on March 3, 2009 at 5:24 PM
I’m wondering if he thinks that the middle class was not in the stock market and so are not really concerned. It would be quite typical if he did not know this as he seems more in tune with very low income folks. I, for one, will never forget his indifference to my problems as my retirement income dwindled down to unsustainable levels when a word or policy change from him might have stopped or slowed it. If he thinks I will, even when the market improves, he can think again. Everytime I see that vastly reduced balance, I will remember who is responsible and I suspect I’m not alone.
jeanie on March 3, 2009 at 5:24 PM
No, that’s the economy “bobbing up and down” (on obama)
UNREPENTANT CONSERVATIVE CAPITOLIST on March 3, 2009 at 5:24 PM
And they call him “intellectually superior”. Can they finally put that little slogan to rest now?
sherry on March 3, 2009 at 5:27 PM
Same here, Romeo, except that I pulled our 401k last November. We’d only just opened it (being new here in the US), but it was losing capital from day one. Because we aren’t aged 59 yet we also took a good hit for early withdrawal. But if we’d kept it till now, we’d have less money than we managed to claw back. I put our savings into pounds (risky, but who knows?) and made some money back on the exchange rate. My MiL in England has lost 250K pounds already on her investments.
This idiot creep president thinks we are all financial sharks or something, when the people hurting most are losing their lifetime savings and pension funds.
Fortunata on March 3, 2009 at 5:28 PM
Good Lord, there is so much wrong with this statement, I don’t know where to begin:
1) The market isn’t “bobbing up and down”. It’s sinking like Rosie O’Fat encased in cement.
2) The stock market isn’t like a poll. A poll is used to gauge the public’s opinion on a specific topic or issue. The Dow, NASDAQ, and S&P 500 measure the strength of publically traded companies, in essence it tells us the health of our economy.
3) Another way the market is not like a poll is that when the Dow plummets, people lose money. And given how much it’s sunk even just since Inauguration Day, investors have lost a fortune.
4) Obama SHOULD worry about the market. First of all, it’s a leading indicator of where the economy is headed. And given its current state, that doesn’t bode well for us. Secondly, it’s not reacting favorably to anything he’s saying or doing. If Wall Street ain’t buying it, he’s in trouble.
There are about a dozen other points I could make, but this only confirms what many of us “ignorant” folks have been warning about this guy going back the last two years. He’s a radical leftist with no executive experience who’s completely out-of-touch with how the real world works. I used to say he’d be another Jimmy Carter. We should only be so lucky.
Doughboy on March 3, 2009 at 5:28 PM
The markets aren’t a Poll they’re a Scorecard

Never and I mean never have I ever used the word I’m about to use describing a President. Obama is an ass.
MNDavenotPC on March 3, 2009 at 5:31 PM
This is my real worry, those seniors who rely on portfolio income to pay the bills.
Maybe Obama will put in place incentives to increase charitable contributions so we can help them out . . . Oh wait, he proposes to reduce the incentives to do that.
Some retirement homes who provide lifetime residential care based on seniors’ portfolio income are being forced to “recalculate” the remaining future income streams.
Seniors will drop supplemental insurance for Medicare, change what they eat, turn the thermostat down, etc.
I find this heartbreaking. And this CREEP trivializes the stock market dive!
DrStock on March 3, 2009 at 5:31 PM
Yes, I caught that. I’m in general agreement with Morris on this, though I think the Precedent’s plans are even more sinister than Morris allows himself to say. I figure that BHO would push the US to the brink, in order to institute martial law, but I don’t think he’d be unhappy with just destroying us, if taking dictatorial control is not possible. Either way, he doesn’t care about 2012. All he wants is to pass as much America killing and revenge legislation and executive orders as he can until he gets thrown out.
Yes. I have to give Morris credit for having identified this. A good many of us did, as we knew that the idiot messiah is a full-on marxist, with a lot of seething black anger to boot (i.e. just like Trinity Church – what a surprise!) but Morris got it all down on paper.
progressoverpeace on March 3, 2009 at 5:32 PM
Gyrations assume somewhat equal movements in both directions. A 3,000 point drop with no movement up in 6 weeks is not gyrating, it’s freefalling. If Bush had said he wasn’t concerned about the stock market’s day to day movements the media would have screamed that he was out of touch. They’ll probably call Obama brave for the same statement. Incredible.
But this is what Obama wants so he can claim that the goverment needs to take control of the markets, among other private industry including the banking, automaking, etc.

TheSitRep on March 3, 2009 at 5:36 PM
If we are going you against us… Our leader, Bush, tried to regulate Fannie and Freddie. Your leaders, Frank, Dodd and Obama! got record payoffs not to regulate.
This is the Democrat’s fault. When the Dems took over the government in 2006 it was at record highs! Now when the Dems have all power they have turned a down turn into a world wide disaster.
If I believed in conspiracies…and I do when it comes to this bunch…I would think it is being done on purpose to finally get enough panic to get socialism firmly in place before Obama loses the next election. That would explain the plain stupidity and hurry hurry attititude of the con artists in office today.
petunia on March 3, 2009 at 5:36 PM
Never had a lot, but managed over the years to save enough to have the basics and a few luxuries. And…the heart breaking part for me, some of that which we had came from the sale of the 2 houses that our parents were able to scrape enough together to buy 18!! years after the Great Depression ended(yes, that’s how long it took for them to feel safe and acquire enough)What they worked so hard for and weathered so much pain for is now gone and we have o to thank. I will hate him to my dying breath.
jeanie on March 3, 2009 at 5:36 PM
Obama’s comments remind me of a “Peanuts” cartoon years ago. Charlie Brown was leaning on a brick wall with his head in his hands and a sad look on his face. Linus comes along and asks him what is wrong. Charlie Brown responds, “We lost another baseball game.” Linus, wanting to cheer him up says, “Well Charlie Brown, you win some and you lose some.” To which Charlie Brown sighs, “Gee that would be neat.”

petunia on March 3, 2009 at 5:39 PM
I’m impressed that the comments here are as mild as they are; I heard him utter this idiotic statement this morning and I thought I was going to start levitating! Is he such an arrogant fool that he doesn’t understand how many people have lost their life savings? Their retirement? Or are the people who had jobs and the ability to contribute to a 401k, the filthy elite rich that he hopes to teach a lesson to? I can’t tell you how offensive his attitude is- It’s almost like he thinks it’s funny. The only thing more horrifying than having nothing to retire on, is the idea I might have to be dependent on the sorry ass government he’s creating.
anniekc on March 3, 2009 at 5:41 PM
The sad part of it all is that Obama is dumber than a box of rocks, but the people that voted for him are even dumber. They don’t have stocks/bonds, they are reaching out to the government for a handout. They are cheering that the stock market is going to hell because they feel it is sticking it to the rich. What they don’t know is, where do they think their government cheese, subsidized housing, daycare, medicaid and other welfare comes from….it doesn’t come from the government…it comes from the backs of the tax payers. When the money runs out, so does the welfare.

I knew a man, Objangles, and he danced for me
In worn out new deal shoes.
With short hair, a flashy shirt and fancy pants,
The old new deal soft shoe.
He tap danced so high, tap danced so high, then he lightly touched down.
I met him in a ward in Chicago, I was
So down and out.
He looked to be the Messiah of the Age,
As he spoke right out.
He talked of hope, he talked of change.
But then he laughed and just clicked heels instead.
Mister Objangles
Mister Objangles
Mister Objangles
Dance!
MB4 on March 3, 2009 at 5:44 PM
There’s no doubt in my mind that he’s snickering at us. I see fist bumps with Rahm after the cameras are turned off. Which is probably why the comments are so tame. Go to far and one might say something one can’t take back…or something.

Every day the market votes. At what point do the day to day gyrations become a trend or a vote of no confidence that is recognizable to Him? Another 2,000 pts? What is the motivation to buy at this point?
As a potential investor, where should I invest?
Healthcare….prior to massive reworking, price controls and govt crowding..
Insurance….prior to massive crowding out
Maybe energy….prior to massive taxation and “govt fixing” and carbon taxes
Perhaps financials…..prior to massive overhaul, regulation and taxation
Maybe industrials….prior to massive taxation on production and carbon taxation.
Perhaps transports….prior to taxation by the mile and carbon related taxes
Should I consider retail….prior to higher taxes and increased consumer savings rates due to ongoing economic concerns and this administration
Perhaps construction related investments…..prior to the zeroing out of mortgage deductions for the wealthy
Real estate….prior to seeing what sort of govt intervention to “fix the industry”
Where should I invest? Obama’s govt has a full court press on the entire economy and on potential investors by way of higher rates and zeroing out deductions. Every sector has found itself in the crosshairs of this administration in some way or another.
I’d suggest no more talk about a Global New Deal for starters. In fact, a vow of silence would probably be better than any policy announcements for the near term.

Obama does believe in the middle class. He thinks there is only rich (the people he sticks it too–us) and poor (the people who go to his church)
Somehow the “poor” will now magically become wealthy from the poverty culture he has just created.

Too late to blame it on Bush. That train has left the station. This mess belongs to o and his complete, total and frightening inability to understand the great middle class that he has now screwed over irrevocably. He had/ has it in his power to say and do those things that would have lessened the impact of the falling market. He did not and will not. He owns this.
jeanie on March 3, 2009 at 5:46 PM
The Obama isn’t worried about the stock market because The Obama doesn’t worry about money. He doesn’t know where money comes from, he doesn’t know how wealth is created, and doesn’t care.
In The Obama’s world when he wants money he takes it from someone who has it.
Skandia Recluse on March 3, 2009 at 5:47 PM

According to Bloomberg, public pensions are already under water by more than $1 trillion. And with every one of Obama’s downward bobs the pensions sink further into the abyss. Perhaps he isn’t concerned because he naively believes we can just charge a pension bailout on a Chinese credit card and all will be fine. But we are soon approaching the day foreign governments lack the funds to buy our treasuries; they’ve got their own depressions to fund.

Actually, many of the different union pension plans are tied to the market. You don’t hear about them because they are, for the most part, guaranteed…kind of like a muni bond…by the ability of the government to raise taxes to pay for them.
genso on March 3, 2009 at 5:53 PM
You know what else bobs up and down? Someone that’s drowning.
I invested a few hundred bucks today on a Remington 870 Express, although I can’t pick it up for another week and a half (thank you Dianne Feinstein, for helping to protect the public against law-abiding citizens).
By the way, according to the gun shop guy, 475 firearms sold in California in the last 24 hours. It’s almost as if people are afraid they might be taken away or something.
TheMightyMonarch on March 3, 2009 at 5:55 PM
He doesn’t even know what a P/E ratio is. Has he EVER been in the real world? Does he know that most Americans are invested directly or indirectly in the stock market? How did he become President? Aaarrrgggghhhhh!
LASue on March 3, 2009 at 5:55 PM
Obama is not an idiot. He is very intelligent. If everything he does makes the economic situation worse, you need to consider the possibility that that is exactly what he wants to happen.
Is it possible that Obama wants America to fail? The “failure” of the free market system is necessary as justification for Obama’s remaking of America.
It would be interesting for someone to investigate whether or not wealthy Obama supporters were given advance notice (ie. insider information) of the administrations intentions and bailed out of the market before it tanked.
Ordinary American on March 3, 2009 at 5:56 PM
Well, now I understand why he chose “Hope” and “Change” as campaign slogans. They’re much catchier than “Declare Total War On The Economy, Vote 0″.

onlineanalyst on March 3, 2009 at 5:57 PM
Reading through your list…this thing would not be hard to fix would it?
I mean look at each sector and undo what Obama has done, or said he would do. Give incentives instead of disincentives. Lower taxes instead of raise them. The markets would respond…
Although, probably not if he did it because who can trust an idiot like him now. He has gone back on all that “transparency” and “competence” he promised in the campaign…
The one promise kept: “change” this IS change alright.

The only way to people dependent on government is to take away their wealth – so O seems to have a vested interest in the stock market tanking. So for him everything is right on track to take advantage of this crisis. They’ll be coming for what’s left of the 401k and IRA money as soon as enough people are convinced it will be safer in government hands. And it won’t take long the way things are going.

If the stock market was UP 30% since he was elected, instead of down 30% since Obama was elected, the One would be bragging about how Wall Street and Main Street are giving him a vote of confidence that he is doing the right thing.

The constant worry of the toll the Porkulus Policy will take on the market (and therefore US(A)) is really a threat to our health.
I guess – “bobbing UP = HOPE”, “bobbing down = CHANGE”. With this market, all we are left with is change – change in 401K and in our pockets.
